#5 – HONEY
NPNB presents the latest installment of Tales From the Library of the Occult.
With a short story by English comics writer John Reppion and narration by UK voiceover artist Peter Baker. NPNB provide the score for a sweet-but-creepy, femme fatale parable in the ’70s English folk horror style. It’s a sound steeped in the Giallo horrorscapes of Goblin, the pagan-pastoral janglings of Pentangle, and the cloud-obscured soundtracks of a pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd.
Side A gives you the whole story, as narrated by the deeply sonorous tones of Peter Baker, with the band’s score serving as backdrop for Reppion’s tale of hallucinations in the English countryside. Side B brings the music to the forefront, allowing one’s mind to wander and create its own adventure.
Pressed on honey-colored vinyl and with a gatefold sleeve that includes art by Suspirialand and read along text of the tale.
